It is one of the principal features of parkinsonism, and it is probably, for the patient, one of the most distressing, tiring and disabling features of their disease. Small muscle movement is affected first, often unilaterally. [gpnotebook.co.uk]
Despite its disabling impact, the precise cause of this symptom remains elusive. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Fatigue
The general effect of bradykinesia is that it takes more time and effort to complete daily tasks, which can result in fatigue. [parkinsonsvic.org.au]
Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-based bradykinesia-related items require that clinicians condense abnormalities in speed, amplitude, fatiguing, hesitations, and arrests into a single score. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinician scorers are instructed to account for speed, amplitude, fatiguing, hesitations, arrests in movement, and how these variables change over time. [sbir.gov]

- Hyposmia
Disturbances in the Sense of Smell A reduced sensitivity to odors (hyposmia) or a loss of smell (anosmia) is often an early symptom of Parkinson’s. [apdaparkinson.org]
Tremor, bradykinesia (i.e., slowness of movement), postural instability and rigidity (i.e., stiffness and resistance to passive movement) are the cardinal motor symptoms of PD.1 In addition, patients also experience non-motor symptoms like dysarthria, hyposmia [nature.com]

Gastrointestinal
- Muscle Rigidity
Bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, other motor, and non-motor symptoms were significantly more prevalent in patients that were diagnosed with PD following a DaTSCAN. [publications.lsmuni.lt]
Symptoms may include bradykinesia (slow physical movement), muscle rigidity, and tremors. Specific parkinsonian symptoms, bradykinesia and rigidity, have been shown to be associated with decline of cognitive function. [en.bab.la]
Since this system regulates posture and skeletal muscle tone, a result is the characteristic bradykinesia of Parkinson's. Features of Parkinson's disease include tremor, slow movement ( bradykinesia ), and rigid muscles (rigidity). [diki.pl]
The neurodegenerative death of dopaminergic neurons of the pars compacta of the substantia nigra leads to the classical triad of resting tremor, muscle rigidity, and bradykinesia of Parkinson’s disease. [glosbe.com]
It’s caused by muscle rigidity. Often begins in the legs and neck. These muscles become very stiff. When it affects the muscles of the face the individual adopts a mask-like stare. Bradykinesia slowness of motion. [timeofcare.com]
- Loss of Appetite
The signs and symptoms are highly variable from person to person and can include clumsiness, depression, difficulty speaking, swallowing, and walking, drooling, easy bruising and fatigue, tremor, joint pain, nausea, loss of appetite, skin rash and yellowing [neurology.uams.edu]
ANOREXIA - An eating disorder marked by loss of appetite leading to excessive weight loss. ANOSMIC - Without the sense of smell. ANOXIA - An absence of oxygen. ANTI-COAGULANT - A medication that prevents coagulation (clotting) of the blood. [aans.org]

Recent thinking suggests that bradykinesia may be more than simply a manifestation of motor slowness, and may in part reflect a specific deficit in the operation of motivational vigour in the striatum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurologic
- Bradykinesia
T-tests were used to compare bradykinesia measurements between groups and a Pearson product moment correlation was performed within the PD group to examine the relationship between bradykinesia and rigidity measures. [journals.lww.com]
INTRODUCTION: Bradykinesia is usually assessed using clinical rating scales. In some circumstances, a laboratory assessment of bradykinesia using tools of higher resolution is required. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Tremor
Rest-tremor was not associated with any of the polymorphisms studied. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When detectable, tremor amplitude was measured by summing peak power in x, y, and z direction. The amount of tremor for each participant was then calculated as the mean of tremor in the left and right hands. [tremorjournal.org]

- Akinesia
We searched the literature from 1817 to 2015 for use and interpretation of the words akinesia, bradykinesia, hypokinesia, and PD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Bradykinesia is often used synonymously with two other terms: akinesia and hypokinesia. [dict.leo.org]
Akinesia: A means absent. Akinesia means loss of some or all movements. For example, loss of blinking or normal arm swinging while walking. Bradykinesia, Hypokinesia and Akinesia have slightly different meanings. [drkharkar.com]

dystonia (DYT5; 128230), caused by mutation in the GCH1 gene. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Dystonias are often accompanied by pain, e.g. stiff neck or torticollis is a form of dystonia. Other forms of dystonias are an oculogyric crisis, retrocollis, trismus, opisthotonos, or laryngospasm. [timeofcare.com]
16 Dystonia 16 (DYT16) is a very rare and newly discovered movement disorder which is characterized by early-onset progressive limb dystonia, laryngeal and oromandibular dystonia, and parkinsonism. [mendelian.co]
When dystonia first appears, the movements typically occur only with a voluntary movement of the affected body part (action dystonia). [neurology.uams.edu]
- Cogwheel Rigidity
(e.g., cogwheel rigidity, bradykinesia, postural instability), or A microprocessor (46) is connected to the bradykinesia, tremor, and rigidity testing systems for computing test results which are stored along with test instructions in an electronic memory [glosbe.com]
In Parkinson’s rigidity is often most noticeable when you move a joint through a circular movement. The movement often feels as if the joint is moving through a number of cogs, known as ‘cogwheel rigidity’. [parkinsonsvic.org.au]
Symptoms may include bradykinesia (slow physical movement), muscle rigidity, and tremors. The most common manifestations include: bradykinesia, cogwheel rigidity and a lack of balance. [diki.pl]

Although currently there is no cure for PD, the correct diagnosis is important not only for the treatment and prognosis, but also for clinical trials and epidemiological studies. However, practically misdiagnosis of PD is much common. [translationalneurodegeneration.biomedcentral.com]
Patients with atypical parkinsonisms typically have a worse prognosis than those with Parkinson disease, and atypical parkinsonisms respond poorly to standard anti-Parkinson disease treatments. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Etiology The causes of parkinsonism in children are different from those in adults, and thorough examination usually requires a careful search for metabolic as well as degenerative diseases. [endoflifecare.tripod.com]
